Ben snuck another glance at the little foxcoon, Asuka, still wearing his jacket. It looked so huge on her. He hoped nobody noticed. She was talking with one of her friends, one of the older group members, not a newbie like himself. What was her name again? Ben was almost smacking his head in frustration. He finally decided that it was probably one of the halfers who had joined the group after the mountain incident.
Uh oh, the friend was whispering in Asuka's ear and string right at him. It look like he'd been caught staring.
"Darn it!" he muttered under his breath.
Asuka looked up and blushed. She quickly averted her eyes. He looked down, too, embarassed.
Then there was a tap on his shoulder. He turned and saw Ariel standing there with another boy at her side.
"Do you like her?" She asked.
"Uhh..." Ben didn't know how to respond.
"Well?" Ariel pryed.
Ben sighed. "Can you keep a secret?" he asked like a defeated little boy.
Ariel's eyes were lit with curiosity; she nodded.
"Okay but if you tell anybody I swear I'll... Okay the real reason I followed you guys was because after the ... smaller group left the mountains. I couldn't stop thinking about the little foxcoon halfer, Asuka. I don't know why, cuz usually I'm not like that, more...focused i guess, but I don't know, she just ... just..." He sighed embarassed all over again.
Ariel was laughed noe, but not in a mean or taunting way, she was just happy and amused. "So? Go talk to her!"
And he was gently pushed in Asuka's direction. In the backround he could still hear Ariel giglling to her boyfriend.
!Yodel!
